Our standard rental time is 7 hours. We deliver and setup the unit between 7-11am, on busy weekends we may arrive a half hour before your party start time.
Saturday rentals are picked up Sunday morning by noon no extra charge (weather permitting).
Weekday rentals are dropped off the night before and picked up the day after your party. Weekday rentals must be at a residential location because of this.
Please note that forest preserves and parks usually close at dusk so we will arrive for pickup before then to assure we are out in time.
We deep clean our units and also sanitize once more upon setup. Each unit is disinfected and sanitized using an all purpose, natural, non-toxic cleaning formula that has been recognized by the U.S. EPA's Safer Choice Program, as safer for people, pets, and the environment.
***CLEANING FEES: Food remnants of any kind will result in a minimum $250 cleaning fee. This includes but not limited to CAKE, GUM, SILLY STRING, CHIPS, MAKRER, BALLOONS. Items such as these discolor and devalue the unit, they also eat away at the fire protectant coating. Supervise the children while on the unit.

We need a standard 120V outlet and a level surface to setup. Please ensure there is enough set up room for the unit, grassy, level area is preferred with no overhead utility lines or low hanging branches. If you have a sprinkler system you will need to chose an area that is not by the lines, we are not responsible for damaged lines. Please notify us if the unit will be set up on concrete instead of grass or if delivery requires flights of stairs or doorways, there may be additional fees.
